Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below?

Answer 1

B. (2, -3). The X value remains the same. -7 + 4 = -3. The Y value in the center of the existing two points is -3

Answer 2

option A

`(2,-(3)/(2))`

Explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint M between two points is equal to

`M ((x1+x2)/(2),(y1+y2)/(2))`

In this problem we have

`(x1,y1)=(2,-7)`

`(x2,y2)=(2,4)`

substitute the values

`M ((2+2)/(2),(-7+4)/(2))`

`M ((4)/(2),(-3)/(2))`

`M (2,-(3)/(2))`
